August 20, 2025 Yesterday Miss Deb and I, and Coffee of course, found ourselves on the road again. A little over 300 miles and we were back home again. You see, from Lusk, Wyoming everywhere is a long way away. Casper – 105; Cheyenne – 150; Scottsbluff, NE. – 90; Rapid City, SD. 150. To…

August 18, 2025 Yesterday was quite an adventure around this outfit. Our daughter Kami and her husband Jeremey are here for a couple-of-days visit. One of the things they wanted to do while visiting was to go on a nice hike, preferably in the hills. So, we traveled over to Glendo Lake and lit out…

August 17, 2025 Yesterday, Miss Deb and I were in Rapid City, South Dakota to meet family members. There were six of us gathered around a large table in a local cafe. Before we started placing our orders, I ask our server to make sure that I received the bill for the morning’s meal. Why?…

August 13, 2025 Hopefully you have noticed that for the last few days we have been discussing “spiritual disciplines.” I am very much of the opinion that learning to walk with Jesus is a life-long experience, and as such, we need to develop a hand full of disciplines that we live out on a regular…

August 12, 2025 Why is it that the best things for me seem to be the hardest things to do? I think it goes back to the battle between my flesh and God’s Spirit, a battle that has plagued every human who has ever walked across this ‘ol ball of dirt (except Jesus that is).…

August 11, 2025 When someone is in a tough situation with little hope of getting relief, we may comment, “He doesn’t have a prayer,” meaning the situation is hopeless. However, for the Christ follower, there is always hope, there is always a time for prayer. In Matthew, Chapter 6, Jesus gave His disciples a model…

It’s 3:30 a.m. and time to begin my Sunday morning discipline. For nearly the past 40 years, the Holy Spirit awakens me at this time to practice solitude with Him. It’s my time to quietly sit before the Lord and listen to what He has to say about who I am, and about what I…
